I'm not so sure that's true. I'll take the Pope's words over Fr. Dwight Longnecker's, over what a Catholic is supposed to believe regarding the Bible. The more a Catholic believes the Bible to be literally true, the more out of step they are with their Pope, with their Cardinals, and with their Bishops.
Not true.
As the Pope once said; "It is important to recognize dissent for what it is, and not to mistake it for a mature contribution to a balanced and wide-ranging debate. It is the truth revealed through Scripture and Tradition and articulated by the Church’s Magisterium that sets us free." The truth is not the vain construct of those driven by their envy and hatred of the Church nor the recitations brought forth from maleducation.
"Sacred Scripture isn't merely a text written in the past, but rather the word of God that has within it a personal message directed to each individual Christian....We should never forget that the word of God transcends time. Human opinions come and go; what is very modern today will be old tomorrow. But the word of God is the word of eternal life, it carries within itself eternity, which is always valuable. Carrying within ourselves the word of God, we also carry eternal life." - Pope Benedict XVI
And then you have the unTraditional Traditional RC seen on this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/2907866/posts
Sorry. I meant the “prophetic” publisher on this page of this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/2907866/posts
